For the month of September 2024 several of us are going to take on the 30-Day Periodic Elements Coach4aday Challenge. The concept is to show the symbol of one of the 118 elements and give a few facts about it. Today I have chosen Fe

Fe is the symbol for iron.

Elements 30-Day Challenge Guidelines

Like previous challenges there are no hard and fast rules to participate. There are a few suggested guidelines.

  1. Each day in September 2024 show the symbol for one particular element.
  2. Share at least one fact about that element
  3. If so inclined use the hash tag #Coach4adayChallenge on social media platforms

September 5th-Fe

Here are three facts about iron.

Most Abundant Metal in the Earth’s Core: Iron is the most abundant metal in the Earth’s core, making up about 85% of its total weight. This abundance is responsible for the Earth’s magnetic field, as the movement of liquid iron in the outer core generates the planet’s magnetic field.

Essential for Life: Iron is a vital element for living organisms, especially in humans. It is a key component of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. Iron also plays a role in various metabolic processes and the production of energy.

Widely Used in Industry: Iron is one of the most widely used metals in the world, primarily in the form of steel. Steel is an alloy made from iron and carbon, and it is used in construction, transportation, manufacturing, and numerous other industries due to its strength, durability, and versatility.

My purpose in life is to coach. I am a former collegiate basketball coach, director of athletics, and chief of staff. I worked at four NCAA Division I & II universities during my career. At each campus I learned timeless lessons on teamwork and leadership. Today my passion is coaching others on what it takes to lead, serve, and succeed.
